It cannot be overstated how important it is to speak and write well.

There are actually only a few areas where most mistakes are made.
Several of these common grammatical errors and how to avoid them are covered in this text.
Many students think that learning proper English is daunting but, in reality, the concepts are straightforward and easily mastered.
The secret is having the proper foundation upon which more advanced skills can be built.
This text presents English grammar in a traditionally structured and simplistic way with each lesson building upon a previously taught skill.

Without a good foundation, no structure can be built properly.

The book is more about understanding and learning than being able to recite the contents.
In most cases, anyone who needs additional instruction in English grammar can pursue other avenues.

Anyone who completes the course should be able to speak and write more confidently.
Exercises are not meant to grade students.
They are provided to give practice in learning the skill.
